Carl, the advent of Portable.PM is magnificently timely. Thank you.
I have just added my first Windows 7 computer, a Thinkpad, to the stable, and
Portable.PM worked like a dream. There's XY4, complete with thesaurus.
But of course there are other annoyances in the 64-bit realm.
I'm using DosBox for an emulator (and a front-end called D-Box that lets me
substitute one click for the 3 or 4 commands via DosBox--though the problems
below exist with or without D-Box).
Two problems:
1) The XY window I get is a fixed size, no stretching possible, full-screen
rectangle grayed out. F12 changes the CPU speed, not a full-screen toggle.
2) Clipboard.exe doesn't seem to function. That's more major.
On screen size: D-Box offers a full-screen option among its preferences, but
that crashes. According to this WordPerfect for DOS page, that's because the
full-screen settings in D-Box are bigger than the laptop screen. Harry, the
page also explains that Tame doesn't do anything in DosBox.

Does anyone using DosBox have a way to change the window size? It's the right
number of lines, just a tad too small.
As for Clipboard...any suggestions? A path to change somewhere?
